Chapter 2407 - 2408: Emergency Consultation
Tamur circled around Feng Yuan, noticing that he truly seemed perplexed, his body slightly swaying as he spoke
"Another form of parallel space."
"Uh, is there no danger in that?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan understood. The false Mythical Era was likely a special parallel space designated by Tamur or a custom replica. Theoretically, fighting in parallel space was indeed better, as it wouldn’t damage the environment of the Main World.
However, Feng Yuan was concerned that doing so might expose Tamur’s parallel space.
Looking at Feng Yuan, Tamur shook his head and said
"They don’t have that capability."
"Don’t be overly confident."
Understanding Tamur’s intention, Feng Yuan sighed and did not continue to persuade him. After all, Tamur was not impulsive; it had surely weighed the pros and cons before making this decision.
"If you find it suitable, you can give it a try. You don’t need to guide all of them into the false Mythical Era; humans need experience as well."
Agunas glanced at Tamur and flicked its tail as it spoke. They were Divine Beasts maintaining world order, not solely Guardian Gods for humans. Moreover, this incident was fundamentally still a war between humans, only on a global scale.
In its view, this matter shouldn’t solely rely on the Divine Beasts’ efforts; the main force must still be humans. The Divine Beasts merely balanced the powers of both sides.
Although Feng Yuan was not entirely clear about Agunas’ thoughts, he could guess some of it. Whether this idea was good or bad, Feng Yuan couldn’t be sure. However, it made little impact on him.
In this war, Feng Yuan did not intend to intervene. After all, in such a wide-range war, he couldn’t do much. It wasn’t like he could call Shi and Xilnaes over for it.
Ultimately, the Rune was transferred by Tamur into the false Mythical Era. Tamur even decided to first investigate the entire Flames Mine Theme Park domain.
In reality, they understood that without employing the methods related to the Divine Beasts of Rune for a domain-wide inspection, finding almost all the Runes was impossible.
Not to mention the Flames Mine Theme Park, there existed a complex mass of underground cave systems beneath it, or rather, the entire surrounding area of Baiman City had vast underground cave clusters.
The existence of these cave systems not only facilitated humans in mining underground minerals, but also provided space for that group to exercise their powers. The intricate caves even made it impossible for Agunas and its kin to conduct thorough inspections.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t do it, but it was too time-consuming. For them, consuming a significant amount of time in inspecting that area was less preferable than preparing for direct confrontation.
After all, those people using the Runes probably aimed for surprise attacks. Ultimately, it would return to face-to-face combat.
But this matter affected not just Baiman City greatly; Maomu City was similarly impacted.
Fortunately, Maomu City was not a tourist city. Even though Cha Mu Town was a big tourist area, its defense capability was not necessarily weaker than Maomu City itself.
No choice, the presence of Yognot—though it couldn’t fully control its powers—allowed it to protect the Tea Wood Town Area to some extent.
Feng Yuan chose not to stay. Although the mine cart was temporarily shut down, other amusement facilities were not, or rather, Agunas and its kin decided to slowly inspect each area one by one.
This approach had relatively less impact on the park. After all, by the time they discovered the issue, many tourists had already entered. Even if the entrance was shut down urgently, a sudden complete closure would also greatly affect visitors.
Moreover, even if they conducted a screening, ordinary people would rarely recognize problematic Runes. After all, to the general public, telling apart decorative Runes from special Runes was impossible.
Seeing Feng Yuan walk out alone, Qi Chen and the others realized something. Qi Chen approached and patted Feng Yuan’s shoulder, saying
"How did it go?"
"No major issues, at least as of now. Agunas and its kin will investigate, and the amusement facilities here will temporarily be closed in rotation, which doesn’t affect us."
They had already ridden the mine cart, and other amusement facilities were unaffected.
"I see, well then, what should we do now..."
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, shrugged, and Feng Yuan said
"Continue playing, of course. Otherwise, why would we help? Agunas and its kin will handle it. Having one more or less person won’t make a decisive difference."
After all, it was just a thorough inspection, and Feng Yuan had no interest in following to help.
Seeing Feng Yuan like this, Qi Chen smiled and said nothing further. Dou Yanlan was not as relaxed as Qi Chen; she sensed danger in this matter, similar to Agunas and its kin. Dou Yanlan believed the intruders were not specifically targeting Feng Yuan.
Or perhaps Feng Yuan could only be targeted by entities like Empire Gladys, known for their prophecies. Even then, it would be a private action by Empire Gladys. If her superiors knew, they might not allow her to act like that.
Even though they knew Feng Yuan might step in eventually and had the potential to tilt the balance, they dared not provoke him easily because these were mere speculations. However, if they targeted him directly, it would drag Feng Yuan into the war.
For them, this would unlikely be beneficial. At least no sensible person would willingly pull someone into a war who wouldn’t participate otherwise, as it only introduces more instability.
If they are not targeting Feng Yuan, it only shows how strong their operational capabilities are, and this action of theirs indicates a determination to succeed. Perhaps only after a real battle can the problem be resolved.
As the war approaches, what could they possibly do?
Dou Yanlan pondered this, only to find they couldn’t do anything. She and Qi Chen weren’t Feng Yuan, lacking that overwhelmingly crushing power. Even in such a large-scale war, being a Legendary Level Beast Master would not change much.
Furthermore, Dou Yanlan believed that since they had prepared for a large-scale invasion, they must have investigated the situation in their world. No one hid the existence of the Divine Beasts, so if they dared to act even with the Divine Beasts present, it was clear they might have a way to deal with them.
She sighed, choosing not to voice her guesses, as these were merely her personal thoughts. Expressing them would only ruin the mood without any benefit.
With a slightly unnatural smile, Dou Yanlan chatted idly with Feng Yuan and the others. Although Feng Yuan noticed Dou Yanlan’s oddity, he didn’t ask. Unlike Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan wouldn’t hesitate to ask if she truly needed help.
Since Agunas and its kin were inspecting one region at a time, Feng Yuan and his friends left after playing the current area’s amusement facilities ahead of the others, thus unaffected by the temporary closures.
Besides Feng Yuan and his companions, many visitors were affected by this temporary change as they arrived at amusement facilities under inspection. Even though the electronic map displayed the facilities currently being inspected and those about to be, not everyone paid continuous attention to it.
Of course, the visitors knew this wasn’t standard maintenance but checks for any remnants left by the enemy. The park hadn’t hidden this fact, understanding that it couldn’t be concealed.
To say nothing of the abruptly halted entrance, which was enough to draw attention. Why attempt to conceal a message when nearly all regions were engaged in comprehensive inspections? It was impossible for the news not to leak.
Otherwise, such a commotion—if manipulated with false messages or incited public opinion—could escalate unpredictably.
Moreover, Agunas’ proposal wasn’t without support; even knowing the detrimental abrupt warfare, preparing as the opposition does was equally necessary.
To address this crisis, the Alliance had to reach out to nations for discussions on forthcoming actions, and even the Divine Beast Hall put aside its previous prejudices for once.
No matter what they contended for before, they clearly understood one thing: failure to repel the Imperial Timeline’s invasion spells doom for each and every one of them.
